Well i will not buy poser5 until the Cinema4DXL import plugin is released for MAC OSX and i can host my digital poser actors in Cinema as i now do with poser4. Cinema4DXl is my primary 3D application for full CG environments effects and particle systems with poser figures as welcomed "Guest Stars" hosting poser animation in C4D allows me to utilize hardware accleration,batch rendering ,radiosity and everthing else that comes with a true high end 3D/CG software package. CL has done an excellent job with the "hair thing" and the Cloth simulation appears to be well implemented, but i would like to see more complicated clothing animated and shown to meor at least some "off the shelf "DAZ clothing items easily converted to animated cloth and posted. Sadly however Looking at the "ruby tuesday" thread with the naked woman in front of a reflective surface and a nice shiny reflective Sphere I must honestly say that the new" firefly" renderer, with its LACK of true volumetric lighting, appears to be about as good as METACREATION'S BRYCE-2 was.................................... SIX YEARS AGO!!!! :-). This is not a knock on poser5 its just the opinion of one man who uses Cinema 4DXl and Lightwave 3D 7.5 and has gotten a little Spoiled by World class lighting systems and render engines. Poser5 is a tremendous improvement over poser4 BUT for me. it will still be used only as a previsulazation and Character animation plugin for my Main CG packages.
